India fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah engaged in a hilarious social media exchange with his wife, sports presenter Sanjana Ganesan, after a video from Japan went viral on Instagram. Bumrah was seen exploring a local bedding store, prompting an amusing reaction from Sanjana that caught the attention of fans online.
The light-hearted exchange came after India’s one-off T20I against Japan at the Sano International Cricket Ground. The rain-affected match was reduced to five overs per side, with Shreyas Iyer’s side securing a narrow two-run win as part of their preparations for the 2026 Asian Games men’s cricket competition.
Sanjana Ganesan Reacts Hilariously to Jasprit Bumrah’s Pillow Video
In an Instagram reel filmed by teammate Axar Patel, Jasprit Bumrah was seen testing custom-made ergonomic pillows at a Japanese bedding studio. The specialists conducted detailed neck-alignment checks and took tailored contour measurements to create a personalized pillow for Bumrah.
Axar handled the camera while also enjoying the moment, with his laughter heard in the background as Bumrah praised the precision of the Japanese craftsmanship. Bumrah then turned his attention to his cameraman and revealed that Axar was next in line for a consultation.
“Mere baad tu hai (You’re right after me),” Bumrah quipped with a grin.
“Itni jaanch padtaal ke baad kabhi maine apne sone ke baare mein socha nahi hai (I’ve never thought about my sleep in this much detail before),” Bumrah added.
The video soon caught Sanjana Ganesan’s attention. The sports presenter and Jasprit Bumrah’s wife jokingly questioned his choice of activity during the team’s Japan trip.
“You’ve gone ALL THE WAY to Japan to do THIS?” Sanjana commented on the Instagram post.

India Complete Historic 200th T20I Win Against Japan
India secured a narrow two-run victory over Japan in a rain-affected one-off T20I at the Sano International Cricket Ground on Tuesday, September 22. The match was reduced to five overs per side.
Jasprit Bumrah was not included in the playing XI, as captain Shreyas Iyer relied on his options in the shortened game. Despite Japan’s effort, India held their nerve to complete a historic victory.
India became the first team in men’s T20I history to reach 200 victories. They started their T20I journaly with a six-wicket win over South Africa in Johannesburg in their first T20I in 2006.
India recorded their 50th T20I win against Sri Lanka in Colombo in 2017 before reaching 100 victories against the West Indies in Kolkata in 2022. Their 150th win came against Australia in 2024. India then needed only 66 matches to move from their 151st to their 200th T20I victory.
Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh Exchange Jerseys With Japan Players
The historic occasion continued with a jersey exchange between players from both teams after the match. Bumrah, despite not featuring in the playing XI, exchanged his training jersey with Japan international Declan Suzuki-McComb.
Arshdeep Singh took part in two separate exchanges. The left-arm pacer gave his half-sleeve jersey to Japan wicketkeeper-batter Alexander Shirai-Patmore and his full-sleeve jersey to Japan captain Kendel Kadowaki-Fleming.
India opener Abhishek Sharma also joined the gesture, presenting his jersey to a member of the Japanese support staff. Players from both teams then posed for photographs following the memorable encounter.
The match was also held as part of celebrations marking 75 years of diplomatic relations between India and Japan. The jersey exchanges added a sporting touch to an occasion that marked the first-ever men’s international cricket meeting between the two countries.
